Wood Score?

Eating lunch at my usual haunt yesterday, & in walk 5 tree cutters. I introduce myself by admitting that I'm shamelessly hawking for free wood. Foreman says they've already got a guy that will take it all. No problem, I say. He takes my phone # in case the other guy doesn't want all of it. Today the phone rings, it's the foreman, says the other guy's phone has been disconnected do I want the wood. For sure, he's coming by tomorrow to check my log yard for his truck. I finally think to ask how much they're cutting. I'm assuming this a residential tree cutting job. Nope, moving a power line easement further from the road 90+ trees as of now, maybe more. I'm gonna have to get a little creative on stacking log piles if this pans out. May end up with a lot less lawn & way more log yard, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. Stay tuned.

 

I think that's what I herd about that on the news yesterday , I don't remember exactly where the location was

 

Huh, I don't watch much news, but these trees are coming off Gun Lake Road in Barry County. Supposed to be Oak, Maple, White Pine, & some other assorted stuff. This could turn into years of firewood if it flies. Bring your trailer over if you want a couple loads HDRock .

 

90 trees is a lota dang wood
I hope it's not to muddy out back when the rain stops so I can do some processing

 

So it's real close to your house they are takin em down

 

Sounds like a win-win to me. I’d much rather cut wood than mow lawn.

 

*gulp* 90 trees. What are they? 6” dbh???

 

They'll run from 12" on up to about 30". They chip anything smaller. Could be fun.

 

About 3-4 miles away. Pretty close.

 

I've gotten some scores through the years but that's a darn good one!

 

Wow!!!!!! just WOW! Well done!


You are going to be busy:

 

...nice!

 

Yeah! I like running my chainsaws way more than the weed eater !!

 

12-30" !!??!! ...sweeet!
Thats a shame they're chipping all the easy stuff...but awesome score!!

And... that earned you... a big...You Suck! Lol


Just joking, brother !

 

What's cool is they are going to bring it to ya, you don't even have to go get it

 

Wow that is a nice score. It never hurts to ask.

 

Well just so ya didn't think I was B S ing you, here's the first load.

I'm ok with that TurboDiesel

 

There's a fine line between managing firewood, always wanting more of it, and then all of a sudden getting overwhelmed with it. Good luck with this, it sounds like you could be set with firewood for a long long time!!

 

Roll em in, roll em in
Those guys got an estimate on job completion ?

 

Keep your eyes open for saleable lumber logs!
